Seriously Delicious Green Smoothie

Confession: I hate ALL green smoothies with the exception of this seriously delicious green smoothie!

I know, I know… they’re good for me, but I just don’t like them. A food blogger should like green smoothies, actually I think I’m supposed to love that sort of thing, but I just can’t bring myself to drink them.

Luckily for me, my husband is the bigger health geek in our house and requested that I take one for the team, put my blender to work, and develop a green smoothie that the entire family, even myself, would love.

I blended and tested different combinations of fruits, veggies, and greens for a few days… some were admittedly horrible, bitter sips. However this one with its combination of spinach, green grapes, bananas and pineapple, was subtly sweet and slightly tropical which was a huge hit in our household. Turning me from a green smoothie hater, into a green smoothie LOVER! Well, at least this green smoothie!
